Although a case could be made for showing a tourist the beautiful mountain region or the historic capital city in my country, I would probably take a tourist to my home because living with a family would give this visitor a perspective about my country that few tourists have. Shopping, eating meals together, um . . . interacting and participating in the usual everyday activities, attending religious services, and . . . and visiting friends in their homes, um, this would let the visitor live in my culture for a while. I think this is more impressive than taking photos of places because you can see all of the usual tourist attractions in videos or magazines, but you can’t understand how people live unless you live with them
